    You know you have an S13 when you can tell what gear your auto box is in because of the pattern of clonks the hydraulic actuators just made

    They don't have turbo's on those USA S13s do they.

    Been there so often.

    People who can only come to terms with my demand for a maneuverable car with sub 10m turning circle (don't dare tell them it's so I can go to silly yaw angles on opp lock), space for a push bike in the back (without taking the wheels off) and sleek styling, (measured by CdA of 0.55m^2) by suggesting I buy 3 cars to do everything one S13 does. A London TAXI (like that's gonna need lock for yaw angle), a Subaru wagon and a RX-7. Short of buying a 3 car transporter and getting a HGV license, they have no answer as to how I would be able to get all three 120 miles down the M-way for a weekend away. Roof racks have been mentioned when I ask how I would be able go to Homebase in the RX-7 and get two 6ft glass shower doors and dicky seats to fit the niece and her friends in.

    You know you have a S13 when you never have to drive home to change car.

    Too right!

    The petrol smells are a niggle too and I just give up on the leaky boot hatch

    I wouldn't swap it for anything within £2000 pounds of its purchase price though!

    You know you have a 200sx when your boot pops when driving as you have the dammed seat belt round the boot release

    You know you have an S13 when you can no longer count the number of engines and gearboxes you've been through on the fingers of one hand

    *LOL* So Very TRUE comments there, I am always turning my Stereo down... thought it was just me being paranoid..

    You know you have an S13 when you get as much attention (and more) than people driving fancy cars costing 20 times as much

    You know you have an S13 when you suddenly find yourself helping changing engines in the middle of the night


    You know you have an S13 when you you use your boot release (Becasue you want to leave car running to cool down etc) only to find it locked again when you go to open it.

    You know you have an S13 when you rebuild it, it rattles. You take off the sump, crank out, measure it, add new perfect-fitting bearings, start her up again & she rattles. You then decide to drive her until she breaks!!

    ...Eventually you come around to the idea an engine-swop might have been a better & cheaper option.
